Focused more on removal than addition—we bid farewell to all of the APIs under the java.se.ee aggregator module (CORBA, JAX-B and JAX-WS) and the Oracle JDK lost the browser plugin (surely, the end of applets), Java Web Start and JavaFX.

OpenJDK 9

Introduced Project Jigsaw, the Java Platform Module System. A contentious development which involved delays to the release of OpenJDK 9 after the JCP took the unprecedented step of voting against the public review of JSR 376., leading to changes to the encapsulation of internal APIs and a reconsideration ballot.
